Virat Kohli is one of the most amazing and iconic cricketers of the modern-day generation and he’s an inspiration to millions.
He’s often hailed as India’s ‘run machine’ for his consistency over the years and we have loved him in every sport while facing every challenge. But readers, do you all know that Virat also had a stage when he went through depression?
During a recent podcast with former England cricketer Mark Nicholas, Virat reflected on his dismal performance against England in the 2014 series and was quoted as saying,
“Personally, for me, that was a revelation that you could feel that lonely even though you a part of a big group. I won’t say I didn’t have people who I could speak to but not having a professional to speak to who could understand what I am going through completely, I think is a huge factor. Someone whom you can go to at any stage, have a conversation around, and say ‘Listen this is what I am feeling, I am finding it hard to even go to sleep, I feel like I don’t want to wake up in the morning. I have no confidence in myself, what do I do?’ Lot of people suffer from that feeling for longer periods of time, it carries on for months, it carries on for a whole cricket season, people are not able to get out of it.”
Well, here’s hoping Virat never goes through anything remotely close to that.
